Any recommendations for an image editor that can save in avif format? I am interested in outputting avif format files directly, without having to go through a secondary conversion process.

Interestingly enough the very latest Gimp can do this but it must be compiled against libheif... – andrew.46 Dec 03 '20 at 11:16

GNU Image Manipulation Program can do this. I'm using 2.10.22 here, and the option to save as a HEIF/AVIF is available.

Yes, I see that now. The version of GIMP on the Ubuntu repository for 20.4 is an earlier one that does not yet have this feature. – Amblymoron Dec 04 '20 at 18:37

2I have Ubuntu 20.04, and I'm using the snap version 2.10.24. When trying to save as
.avif, GIMP says, "The given filename does not have any known file extension." Ditto.heif. Is there something that I need to do to ensure compatibility? – Paddy Landau Oct 01 '21 at 07:59
